After the scare tactics USDA and APHIS used to try and get NAIS enacted dont you think its a little hypocritical to now say Canada is a "minimal risk" for spreading BSE into the US? Which is it or do you just make up crises as you go along? Our borders should be closed and our own producers protected not the Canadians, Mexicans or any other foreign nation. you already know that the feed dealers in Canada are still using animal products in feed and that cattle are still coming down with it. When we import a cow with BSE from Canada are you then going to tell us how much we need NAIS? Bull, we just need a government agency with the nerve to tell the truth, close our borders and scap NAIS.
